As police left the storage facility, the victims spotted the suspect driving in the area and they got in their car following him. The victims followed the suspect out into the county in the area of Stimmel Rd. between 9th and Ohio. The suspect then circled back and proceeded to point a gun at the victims. No shots were fired and he drove away.
The victims called police and were told not to continue following the suspect, but to drive to the police station for an interview.
